Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    We early arrive at the great discovery that there is one mind common to all individual men: that what is individual is less than what is universal ... that error, vice and disease have their seat in the superficial or individual nature.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I felt for my crime a just terror; I looked on my life with hate, and my passion with horror.
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)
